Halloween Thrills

Haunt Your Way Through the Grande Prairie region This Halloween

As the crisp autumn air settles over Grande Prairie, the moon casts eerie shadows and the spirit of Halloween awakens. Whether you’re a ghostly ghoul or a merry mummy, this year’s Halloween festivities promise to be a bewitching blend of thrills and chills. So, grab your costume and prepare for a spine-tingling adventure through the most haunted and family-friendly events in town.

Watch in awe as witches, zombies, and superheroes strut their stuff, turning the city into a vibrant spectacle of frightful fun.
